We like to think we get to most submissions that come our way in a timely manner. But that’s not always the case. However! We do like to think that if it’s something that appeals to us then, regardless of timeliness, we definitely get to it no matter what… and we’d also like to think that counts for more? Maybe? Anyway, all of that was to say that we overshot the mark on Boston’s Wayward Vine two times now but as luck would have it, there’s a new single right around the corner to make up for it all!
If you’re not already aware, Wayward Vine have a way about them. It’s this undeniable electricity that manifests these enchanting aural odyssey’s that are just soaked with a sort of down home Indie Folk meets Americana goodness yet lyrically are quite the opposite as the sometimes sing-songy nature comes at you with a mixture of somber and soul-stirring words that, if not in the capable hands of WV, might come off as quite jarring.
And again, the music that Wayward Vine creates is anything but with that trend continuing on third single “Narcissist’s Disguise”, a sugar-coated soliloquy that’s as poignant as it is poppy. Amidst warm piano lines from Valerie Rachel and guitar flourishes from Yoni Gordon we’re off to the races as Jose Downes’ bass and Jim St. Pierre’s percussion creates a Groove-filled rhythmic foundation with Greg Lawrence adding acoustic guitar accompaniment and background vox to complement Rachel’s sweeping croon consisting of biting lines like “You don’t follow through when it’s not about you…” delivered as sweetly as can be.
